Bode unsure on Bodemeister
Three generations of Bodes will show up for Saturday's Preakness in Baltimore.
Besides Bodemeister, the 8-5 morning-line favorite to win the second leg of the Triple Crown, there are 7-year-old Bode Baffert, for whom the horse was named, and skier Bode Miller, for whom trainer Bob Baffert's son was named.
Baffert said his boy was nervous about sending Bodemeister to the Kentucky Derby, where the colt was runner-up.
Bode Baffert also isn't keen about Bob's attempt to win his sixth Preakness. Baffert didn't decide to enter Bodemeister until Monday, and when he told Bode, he said in a fretful tone, "Oh, boy."
Bodeister and the field will have fast conditions: Baltimore's forecast is a high of 79 and no chance of rain.(newsday)
